I am currently a fourth year PhD student and my supervisor is Dr John Aston. I am also currently working with Dr Adam Johansen and Dr Idris Eckley from the University of Lancaster.

My current research is in quantifying the uncertainty in change point problems in non-stationary time series. Current research themes to this problem include:

• Hidden Markov Models (HMMs)
• Finite Markov Chain Imbedding (FMCI)
• Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC)
• Wavelets

Education:

In July 2009, I graduated with the degree BSc MMORSE (Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics & Economics) from the University of Warwick.

My fourth year dissertation was on "Statistical Analysis on Varieties of English" under the supervision of Dr Sach Mukherjee. This was also in collaboration with Dr Marco Schilk and Professor Joybrato Mukherjee from the Department of English, Justus Liebig Universität Giessen.
